I have used a Brother in my home based business and when it needed extensive repairs I bought this one because it works great and the price is wonderful! The old one didn’t owe me anything when it died and I expect this one to perform even better.

I think Brother should put into its next commercial song (jingle) the loud snapping noise this printer makes when it feeds paper. It sounds like something is breaking into a million pieces. So you might argue “so who cares, you only refill the paper tray every once in a while. ” The problem with that theory is that the sound is a clue to something– the paper feed mechanism in these machines is prehistoric, crude, and cannot stand-up to time and whenever you have that kind of violent mechanical action in a product, you know it’s poorly designed and it won’t last long. So after about 5 months, my printer stopped feeding paper. After walking through the process, calling technical support, I noticed as I expected a spring had fallen-out from the contraption and there was no way to find out where it belonged, it’s a mess. Now out of the box this was not a perfect printer. Two-sided printing is known not to work well on these printers and it never worked well on mine– it jammed frequently. One-sided printing was “OK” until this problem and now the printer is trash unless I want to hassle with a warranty process on a $100 item. Many of us may remember years ago the quality of laser printers- for example, those made by NEC would last a decade. Nowadays you have a choice of junk or junk at a low price. You can’t say “hey, I’m willing to PAY for quality, just provide it. ” Instead, it’s a low-ball market of low-ball products that flim-flam their way into your home and then fail. This is another one of those products. At $100 or so you can take your chances, but you know that in the end, you may waste your time and money. Search for quality, I am back on that search again.

At the current price, you are gambling that you will get a working product. If you don’t like taking a risk, I would advise you look for another printer. This printer has not printed more than 1 or 2 pages without failing. Paper jams on EVERY use. Sure, this is likely one bad item out of many, but now I need to decide whether I want to spend my time wresting with the return policy and/or manufacturer. This may go in the trash today.
UPDATE 11/09/2009: Brother warranty service very quick. They are sending replacement plus a pre-paid air bill for sending back the old printer. Update will be provided if/when a working printer is received.
